Systems and methods for improving positioning of user equipment

Abstract

Presented are systems, methods, apparatuses, or computer-readable media for positioning. A wireless communication node may identify a condition associated with a positioning method related to a wireless communication device. The wireless communication node may determine a value of a qualification flag based on whether at least one of a measurement result or assistance data associated with the positioning method satisfies the condition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wireless communication method, comprising:
 identifying, by a wireless communication node, a condition associated with a positioning method related to a wireless communication device; and   determining, by the wireless communication node, a value of a qualification flag based on whether at least one of assistance data associated with the positioning method satisfies the condition.   
     
     
         2 . The wireless communication method of  claim 1 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) frequency layer. 
     
     
         3 . The wireless communication method of  claim 1 , wherein the qualification flag is configured for the specific positioning method. 
     
     
         4 . The wireless communication method of  claim 1 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific transmission reception point (TRP) for the positioning method. 
     
     
         5 . A wireless communications node, comprising:
 one or more processors configured to:
 identify a condition associated with a positioning method related to a wireless communication device; and 
 determine a value of a qualification flag based on whether at least one of assistance data associated with the positioning method satisfies the condition. 
   
     
     
         6 . The wireless communications node of  claim 5 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) frequency layer. 
     
     
         7 . The wireless communication node of  claim 5 , wherein the qualification flag is configured for the positioning method. 
     
     
         8 . The wireless communication node of  claim 5 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific transmission reception point (TRP) for the positioning method. 
     
     
         9 . A wireless communication method, comprising:
 performing, by a wireless communication device, a positioning method in accordance with at least one of assistance data, and   wherein a wireless communication node is configured to determine a value of a qualification flag based on whether at least one of the assistance data associated with the positioning method satisfies the condition.   
     
     
         10 . The wireless communication method of  claim 9 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) frequency layer. 
     
     
         11 . The wireless communication method of  claim 9 , wherein the qualification flag is configured for the positioning method. 
     
     
         12 . The wireless communication method of  claim 9 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a transmission reception point (TRP) for the positioning method. 
     
     
         13 . The wireless communication method of  claim 9 , wherein receiving the assistance information further comprises receiving the assistance information from the wireless communication node. 
     
     
         14 . A wireless communication device, comprising:
 one or more processors configured to:
 perform a positioning method in accordance with at least one of assistance data, and 
 wherein a wireless communication node is configured to determine a value of a qualification flag based on whether at least one of the assistance data associated with the positioning method satisfies the condition. 
   
     
     
         15 . The wireless communication method of  claim 14 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a specific Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) frequency layer. 
     
     
         16 . The wireless communication method of  claim 14 , wherein the qualification flag is configured for the positioning method. 
     
     
         17 . The wireless communication method of  claim 14 , wherein the qualification flag is configured based on a transmission reception point (TRP) for the positioning method. 
     
     
         18 . The wireless communication method of  claim 14 , wherein receiving the assistance information further comprises receiving the assistance information from the wireless communication node. 
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer-readable program medium code stored thereupon, the computer-readable program medium code, when executed by a processor, causing the apparatus to perform the wireless communication method recited in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer-readable program medium code stored thereupon, the computer-readable program medium code, when executed by a processor, causing the apparatus to perform the wireless communication method recited in  claim 9 .
